title: Congenital plaque-like glomangioma treated successfully with dual wavelength pulsed-dye and neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser.
abstract: Glomovenous malformations are disseminated variants of cutaneous glomus tumors. These malformations are subdivided into regional or localized, disseminated, and congenital plaque-like forms. The congenital plaque-like form is the rarest variant. Most treatment modalities have been disappointing in the treatment of large glomangiomas, leading to high recurrence rates. We report a case of a 34-year-old man with a congenital plaque-like glomangioma on his left arm and forearm treated successfully with sequential pulsed-dye neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet laser.
